[00:40.18]And your R&B dance-steps what about finger-popping? [00:42.96]b-boy electric shocking, windmills, body rocking, [00:45.78]so body-body rock, body-body rock, I'll take ya back, [00:49.07]break your back, realize b-boys aren't faking that [00:51.87]funk that you've forgotten hoe, [00:53.30]how could you have gotten so [00:54.69]far gone, that you could never stop and go, [00:57.58]back to the roots, 1979, [01:00.10]birthplace of the scratch, birthplace of the rhyme, [01:03.17]you'll feel it in your spine like your first taste of wine, [01:05.70]we'll make it back [01:07.26]it'll just take some time [01:08.59]Remember Kangol hats, fat laces and lino mats, [01:11.53]kids spinning on their backs to the sugar hill wax, [01:14.40]now the sugar hills collapsed and the sweets turned sour, [01:17.24]moneys walking my culture through its darkest hour, [01:20.12]now I wanna take you back, walk my way through time, [01:22.97]I was two years old in 1979, [01:25.68]but it's a time that I miss; you ask what's the difference, [01:28.93]Hip-hop was then a culture, now hip-hop's a business [01:54.33]Zulu started b-boying as a form of expression, [01:57.45]to channel youths stress and their aggression, [01:59.48]now through the suggestion of record companies [02:02.17]MC's are pumping these, [02:03.31]problems back into ya section, and isn't it ironic? [02:07.11]but not the sort to make you laugh, [02:08.77]cuz MC's are building futures while raping the past, [02:11.69]taking a glass of Chardonnay and putting it to your lips, [02:14.35]I'd rather take a razor blade and put it to my wrist [02:17.15]than sell records on the basis that I have to promote [02:20.02]sniffing and selling coke, toting guns and smoking ****, [02:22.90]you're all weaving the rope that you'll hang yourself with [02:25.72]my only consolation is within the hip hop nation is [02:28.77]b-boy elements that can still get me open, [02:31.73]like Graff mags from Berlin, mix tapes from Oakland, [02:34.70]breakers from Rock Steady, plus anything from Tribe [02:37.31]and old school New York that's still got the vibe [02:40.13]Remember Kangol hats, fat laces and lino mats, [02:42.96]kids spinning on their backs to the sugar hill wax, [02:45.82]now the sugar hills collapsed and the sweets turned sour, [02:48.67]moneys walking my culture through its darkest hour, [02:51.57]now I wanna take you back, walk my way through time, [02:54.40]I was two years old in 1979, [02:57.11]but it's a time that I miss; you ask what's the difference, [03:00.36]Hip-hop was then a culture, now hip-hop's a business
